CLOUD-INIT 0.7.2 is using a boto library which hardcodes part of the path for getting the metadata for a VM instance. One fix is to add the following rules to the routervm’s docroot /var/www/html/latest/.htaccess:
RewriteRule ^meta-data/$ ../metadata/%{REMOTE_ADDR}/meta-data [L,NC,QSA]
RewriteRule ^meta-data/(.*)$ ../metadata/%{REMOTE_ADDR}/$1 [L,NC,QSA]
I’ve tested this with my CentOS 6 VMs and this fix seems to solve the issue
without requiring code changes within cloud-init or boto.
